Sounds like a great day for him as well catching that many bass despite the loss of the big one. Takes quite a fish to break 15# line. I think drag might have been too tight on his reel. If he keeps hanging around you it won't be long before he destroys his PB.
Thanks so much for the kind words bro , but the most difficult creature to “train” in my not always humble opinion is very likely an 18 year old male human
He enjoyed it is my guess , and let me mention this , he was using some type of floor carbon , that stuff belongs on the floor …..just saying
He got broke off multiple times that day …..told him to take that fancy rig home and put some heavy mono on it …..his hook sets won’t tolerate braid either , he didn’t seem to agree with me on the mono , but I insisted it was his silver bullet for a really big bass , ya got a serious need for some strength and stretch with them brutes for sure
And his drag was way too tight as well, I explained to him why mine was set so light and how I COULD easily land a lot of the fish that were breaking his line , my 6 lb mono breaks way easy , but the rod and the drag are my best friends
